prosecutor general tells me that they have no choice but to start the extradition procedures but these procedures do not mean an instant extradition and the russian side shouldn't necessarily hope for a decision that will satisfy. that this is the law says that's the line here is to expedite it. and make. your process so hopes are still high as the charges that that's based here at this country are serious major had nothing to extortion and terrorist list to that is that the supporters believe that they have enough evidence to successfully link the man to one of the worst terrorist attacks that russia has in the last two years namely the theater siege the two thousand and two also believe that one of the masterminds and the general on going on since the trial this is just so

twenty one people have been killed the latest news is that two candidates as well as eighteen election officials have been kidnapped and some one thousand out of the six thousand eight hundred polling booths are not going to open the doors because of concerns around safety and security this has prompted many people both here in afghanistan and abroad to actually suggest that the elections because spode in the last few days the taliban has issued almost daily threats via its a misfire telephone and on its web site saying that it will disrupt these elections it will target voters coming out as well as people involved in this whole election process and they claim that will make because agents of western governments and that's what they're searching that is a. sponsored government as a result some thirty to thirty five percent of voters who can vote are expected to turn out this is some five percent below the last elections most of them stay away

because of concerns around violence but many of the most awesome in the question whether or not they believe in a parliament because many of them feel very little was done in achieved in the last five years since the last elections. innocent foreign policy expert from the cato institute in washington says the election is falling short of standards of democracy and underscores deeper problems within the country. given the amount of insecurity and instability in the fact that there are flawed voter registries there has been voter intimidation voter bribery there's a great deal of uncertainty as to what's going to happen and despite the fact that there are twenty four hundred candidates who are thirty to forty of them are women you have to really understand that the complexity of all this means that there really won't be what we would define as a liberal democratic electoral process what's interesting is that there's sort of a paradox with u.s. policy and u.s. policy makers in particular especially with this election and they're placing so much emphasis on these processes on the fact that you know these are elections that

allow the voice of the afghan people to speak to the world that this is shows that they're on the march toward a democratic process but the same time they're placing so much emphasis on a process that is deeply profoundly flawed and so if they're going to place such a huge light on this process and it could be so fundamentally problematic this sort of underscores underscores a sort of the broader problems in some ways a metaphor for the problems we have in the country as a whole appears a little blatantly hypocritical why we're sort of supporting what is essentially a very highly unpopular and corrupt regime in kabul that many people think are essentially a us puppet and yet we're sort of touting the ideals of liberty and democracy and freedom if we undercut a lot of the principles we stand for and it makes us very hypocritical. you're with are t.v. still ahead for you this hour from boom to bust. you look at the poverty that's hit america's a recession a battered industrial towns. and oh retro ride the russian and ukrainian presidents cast aside state vehicles in favor of

a historic well in soviet made cars. a suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed grandpa his son he's thought to have fallen victim to a gangster war right in the center of the capital. going off as more from where the crime took place. vincent happened here on this quiet sign street in the very heart of moscow at around eight pm on thursday evening cyan also known as grandpa son thought to be a major criminal ward in russia ryan to reportedly visit his son who lives in this apartment building over here and as grandpa has done accompanied by his bodyguard were trying to enter the building walking through this door over here the shots were fired the bodyguard went down first and according to reports from the witnesses grandpa son actually tried dodging the bullets but ended up getting one

in his stomach that's when their driver ran out and called the ambulance the hitmen was firing the shots from one of those windows on the third floor of that building the distance between these two houses is really small and when the authorities came they saw that that window was open and when they checked the apartment the found a weapon which is thought to have been used both men were rushed to hospital but soon authorities announced that grandpa and son had died later they deny this information saying that they gave out false reports on purpose in order to prevent a second possible assassination attempt grandpas son is thought to be someone who is called by the code that is a person who has reached such a height in the criminal world that he can control supervise and benefit from criminal activities various criminal activities without actually leaving any traces or leaving any proof and it's thought that grandpa son controls most of the

organized criminal groups in russia and in the cia as grandpa son was very close to him that for years gangster award known by the name of your point you can was assassinated back in two thousand and nine grandpa son was basically his right hand man and since two thousand and nine we've heard various reports of numerous games towards ensuring assassinations both in russia and in western europe as well. in switzerland or spain or bodies or people suspected of being connected through a. gang or criminal group. you go to peace can offer reporting for us there now us president obama is pushing forward plans to double the country's exports in the next five years the move that could generate two million jobs comes amid hopes that the country is finally pulling out of the depths of recession but with the number of americans facing poverty at a fifty year high millions are still fighting for survival. to

silk city. this once was what the industrial revolution looked like in the united states. now this is what poverty looks like in this town more than twenty percent are poor more than seventeen percent unemployed it means for many here ninety m. is a time to go to work now i guess. it's time to head to the food pantry for charity if. they are low income folks some of them have been unemployed for almost two years is what we're seeing but on average it's the underemployed. there are people who can't make ends meet people like jenny. and the numbers are growing and we saw in two thousand and nine

a fifteen percent increase over two thousand and eight numbers and we're anticipating that that number and other ten percent at the end of two thousand are not only here but in the entire u.s. new statistics for two thousand and nine show forty three million people one in seven are living in poverty this is the most people who are in more than fifty years that's when they first began tracking these numbers here you can see one reason they want her turning these are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the u.s. manufacturing jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas. that these folks with. sort of out. and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat prepare. now at about four hundred. people.

have free hard liners some of the workers who are some are at the homeless not surprisingly i would call been some maintenance there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here eva's kitchen than a year ago why really you know we're now down and some can't work like for one who has an incurable disease who is now for work or for so many of it used to be a truck driver yet he still can't afford lunch and experts say the needy are needier than ever are they more poor yes that i can say and here on the ground for from washington and wall street there is no sign of an economic recovery for these people in sight i don't see recovery and now they have no thanks for their politicians i don't know what's going on with the color of my i don't know was the press the door. for me is not going there in the room better. is going

by in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know her. did they. don't use their you very counter to lauren lyster artie patterson new jersey and with official figures showing that forty three million americans are currently living below the poverty line fraud wolf an economist at the new school university says the numbers could even be worse. well seeing numbers this large one in seven american adults living in poverty in just about one in four to five american children shows us that the sheer numbers and the percentage of americans who are being systematically failed by the american economy and it gives you a little bit of a taking of the temperature of just how severe the pain is in so many households and so many neighborhoods and so many cities so many states so many town there's every indication from the data flow that next year will be worse than this year

because the numbers that we're looking at today and in two thousand and nine and we're already three quarters of the way through two thousand and ten and every trend that made the poverty and the severity of poverty worse last year is very much in place this year and i would also add that we have really high poverty numbers here with an actual poverty rate income that you need to get that or less to be considered poor in the united states that's so low if you do a more realistic calculation we really have more like nineteen percent of our public in poverty that not even the fourteen so in some level i would say to president obama it's already worse than it looks and i don't think that's quite good enough as a message when you're failing our economy is failing so many people. now on to some stories making headlines around the world for you twenty five people have been killed scores more injured as containers with explosives blew up near a police station yesterday. authorities say the blast was an accident the explosives were intended for road works and stored next to a police station for security reasons sixteen officers were among the dead.
